The Local

I walked across the street
from The Landing Hotel
to grab a milkshake and
a sweet treat.

The Local offers handmade
ice cream, pastries, tea,
coffee, and sandwiches.

I ordered a Blue Moon
Milkshake (raspberry
& other flavors), a pecan
huckleberry scone and
a piece of banana bread.

It was busy and I received
my milkshake in about
ten minutes

The milkshake was thick
and had great taste.

The scone and banana
bread were both very
moist and not really sweet.

I enjoyed the the fun
atmosphere of The
Local and came back the
the next day for a raspberry
Italian Soda.

Located on Adams Street
in La Grande across from
The Landing Hotel.

A nice place to stop for a frozen treat, pastry, drink,
or sandwich in a renovated
Texaco Gas Station with
friendly service.

We love this spot! We are traveling through and are always on the lookout for local coffee shops and The Local is SO awesome! It has such a cool design, we love the indoor + outdoor vibe, and the coffee and food we have had has been delicious! It has been a great place to work for a couple days, with solid wifi and enough seating + outlets.

My truck broke down so I stayed in town for a couple days, This location was next to my hotel and I found it to be very pleasant, very relaxing, friendly/helpful staff, decent Lunch food. I stopped In each day for 3 days and was satisfied with the service each time and coffee.

If you're in town I recommend you stop by this location for some coffee. I

🐾 This place is definitely a dog friendly place 🐩🐶🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐶 But don't let this scare you from stoppingby, the facility is kept very clean and the little kids are kept under control from what I sing.

An exceptionally excellent place for coffee and ice cream and conversation. I did not know waffle cones could be so delicious until
my wife and I began indulging in them at The Local. The staff is friendly and always smiling. We have generally enjoyed the outdoor comfort, but this evening we ordered via the drive thru. Our mini Aussie shepherd even got a doggie cone!

I have not been disappointed! The service is great and very friendly. Good place to have some dessert with different choices of ice cream. The coffee was tasty and you could taste real coffee flavor which some coffee places tend to lack. However, if I was to critique anything it would only be that coffee was somewhat bitter and wish there was more chocolate to my mocha. I was hesitant to put that part in due to it being the very first day The Local was opened with their drive-thru. Everyone is still learning and with trial and error, I’m sure their will be improvement.
Lastly, I would like to note that they reply quickly on their socials. They’re great at responding to your questions.

Was pleasantly surprised to find this upscale & urban vibe coffee/sandwich/ ice cream shop on my way through La Grande. It's bright, airy, with several comfortable seating areas. Every single thing I ordered was tasty, but the breakfast pop tart really stood out. The ice cream flavors are more traditional (no crazy concoctions) which I appreciated.... really creamy & delicious.

This is such a cute lil place and what a brilliant idea, coffee and ice cream together. I stopped by twice this last weekend while traveling through the area. I always look for small locally owned coffee places instead of the large corporations. This place did not disappoint.
The ladies working there were very friendly.
As a transgender woman, I am careful about the places I go especially in rural/conservitive areas. The Local staff were very kind and accepting. I definitely will be back.

I visited The Local again on my way through town and I wasn't disappointed. Today I got a breakfast sandwich and a mocha. Definitely recommend both.

Very clean and bright, yet relaxed environment. Friendly, yet professional young ladies on staff. Excellent and quick service.
I had a latte earlier (coconut milk for those of us who prefer “alternatives” to dairy). It was great. Came back for lunch and got the muffuletta (how could I resist?) delicious, fresh ingredients and served with just the right amount of chips on the side.
They unfortunately were out of the curried chicken salad, but just another excuse to come back. (Like I need one. Did I mention they have ice cream??!!😉)

The all day breakfast sandwich is great! Perfect kinda toasty-outside-and-soft-and-airey-inside bread and that bacon jam is just perfect with the egg and spinach. I cant say enough how perfect this sandwich is.
Book selection in dining area was mid.

My husband and I went there today and we waited about 45 minutes for our food. They gave our order to the wrong person and they tried to chase her down and when I had started I was not comfortable taking the food if it had left the premises the girls working gave me an attitude. They didn't even offer to reimburse us for all the waiting and One of the girls working did not have her tied back. Not having hair tied back is a big food safety hazard. I will not be back. This was not a very good first impression. Do better.
